Xiao Qingyuan looked down on Shen Mingxuan: "Brother Liao came to the palace to help me solve the case. This is a big deal, he can't leave. This woman is crazy and annoying! Madam Chai, why don't you kick her out quickly!"

Nanny Chai didn't move. She looked at Shen Wantang. After Shen Wantang nodded, she asked someone to take Shen Mingxuan out.

Shen Mingxuan shouted angrily and anxiously: "Liao Youhe, come with me, you can't stay here! You can't help Xiao Qingyuan solve the case!"

"You solved this case by yourself, so all the credit belongs to you. If you had shared it with Xiao Qingyuan, your career would be over! You won't be able to become the Supreme Court Minister in the future!"

"Liao Youhe, did you hear me? I'm doing this for your own good, you must listen to me!"

Unfortunately, Liao Youhe didn't even look at her.

These past few days, Shen Mingxuan has been saying that only he could solve the Xin family case, and that he would become famous with this case.

Chu Yanluo used the same excuse when he met him.

But, doesn't he know his own worth?

He had already analyzed the Xin family case, but he had no clue at all. Not to mention solving the case, he didn't even know where to start!

Xiao Qingyuan said that he could help him solve the case, but that was just flattering him. He was clearly confused, knew nothing, and was at a loss!

If he listened to Shen Mingxuan and left Prince Ning's Mansion with her now, he would be a fool!

Who is Xiao Qingyuan? He is the prince of Ning, one of the most famous royal children in the capital.

She was out of her league before, because even though the two families were related, Xiao Qingyuan never looked down on the Shen family, let alone the poor son-in-law of the Shen family.

But things are different now. Now that Xiao Qingyuan can use him, he naturally cannot give up such a good opportunity to climb up the social ladder.

His father-in-law Shen Guannian wanted to get close to Prince Ning's mansion, but he still hasn't gotten a good look from Prince Ning! He is much better than his father-in-law. At least he has had a drink with Xiao Qingyuan, and he was even taken back to the mansion by him to spend the night!

Therefore, as soon as Shen Mingxuan left, Liao Youhe quickly apologized: "I am really sorry, Your Highness. I have offended you and your wife, and I feel deeply guilty. But your highness, rest assured. I will do my best to help you solve the Xin family case."

Xiao Qingyuan glanced at him and said, "You are very thoughtful, much better than your crazy wife! You are unlucky to marry such a wife."

Liao Youhe clenched his fists and lowered his head. Shen Mingxuan really embarrassed him! It would be fine if she just talked nonsense at home every day, but when she came to Prince Ning's Mansion and saw Xiao Qingyuan, she actually said that she had no brains at all!

Comparing him with the calm and dignified Shen Wantang, Liao Youhe felt even more uncomfortable - he wished he had married Shen Wantang in the first place.

What Liao Youhe didn't know was that Xiao Qingyuan was also making comparisons, and he was feeling lucky that the princess his mother had chosen for him was Shen Wantang, not Shen Mingxuan.

Fortunately, his mother is not the old-fashioned person who values ​​the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Otherwise, if she picked the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, he would have to face a lunatic every day!

Is there any way to go on living like that?

Xiao Qingyuan looked at the calm and composed Shen Wantang and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was emotionally stable and always considered the overall situation. She was never crazy or lost her temper. It was really great!

Although he was drunk last night, he was not completely unconscious and he remembered most things.

So he naturally remembered that Shen Wantang gave him enough face in front of Xin Huailin and Liao Youhe last night.

This morning, she felt that Huayi had done a great job in serving him, so she specially rewarded Huayi with something and gave him enough face.

He believed that he was not the kind of bastard who would repay kindness with enmity, so when Shen Mingxuan was talking nonsense, he naturally had to say a few words for Shen Wantang to protect her face.

It doesn't matter what happens behind closed doors, but when facing outsiders, you still have to save face.

This is what he had just learned from Shen Wantang these days.

At this time, a maid entered the flower hall quietly, lowered her head slightly and said respectfully: "Princess, Nanny Jin has brought her back. Do you want to see her?"

Shen Wantang nodded: "Bring her here, the prince will have something to ask her later."

"Yes."

The maid responded and quickly brought Nanny Jin into the flower hall.

Xiao Qingyuan glanced at her, then turned to ask Shen Wantang: "Is this Xiang Meng's mother? Have you told her anything in advance?"

"She is Xiang Meng's mother. I have never revealed anything. Last night, the prince said he wanted to interrogate her, so I asked someone to bring her here from the farm overnight. If the prince has anything to ask, you can ask."

Xiao Qingyuan greeted Xin Huailin and Liao Youhe, then began the interrogation with eagerness.

"Thirteen members of the Xin family disappeared inexplicably. Was it your son who did this?!"

"It's unfair, Prince! My son is the most honest person. He has nothing to do with the Xin family's case!"

"You still dare to say that he has nothing to do with you?! He was the one who killed Xin Huailin's sister Xin Dong'er! Tell the truth quickly, or you will be punished!"

"Absolutely not! Prince, you are wrong!"

"How did your son kill people? How many people did he kill? Did you help? Speak!"

"No! My son didn't kill anyone!"

"You still don't admit it! Someone, come and beat him up!"

After being beaten with a stick, Nanny Jin wailed continuously.

However, no matter how Xiao Qingyuan and the other two asked, no matter how they beat her, she kept repeating a few words over and over again: her son was innocent and had never harmed anyone.

The interrogation lasted for a whole morning. Xiao Qingyuan was so thirsty from asking questions that he drank two pots of tea. Even Princess Ning heard about the commotion here and brought Xiao Qingxi to check out the situation.

Unfortunately, there has been no progress in the case.

Xiao Qingyuan even doubted whether Xiang Meng was really wronged.

Xin Huailin and Liao Youhe also asked Nanny Jin several questions, but they didn't get any answers.

Liao Youhe was fine, as he was able to keep his composure, because he participated in this case mainly to curry favor with Xiao Qingyuan, and it had nothing to do with him if the case could not be solved.

But Xin Huailin was extremely disappointed and became depressed. He thought Xiao Qingyuan could really help him solve the case and that he could really get some useful clues from Nanny Jin. Unfortunately, everything was just wishful thinking.

The more difficult it was to solve the case, the more he felt that there was a high possibility that all his family members had been killed, and the slightest hope in his heart that his family members were still alive was shattered.

Shen Wantang sat aside and watched all this quietly.

The interrogation of Xiao Qingyuan and the other two was completely disorganized. They relied on guessing to solve the case, relied on deception for clues, and relied on beatings for testimony. If this could solve the case, then the people in the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple would have nothing to do.

Nanny Jin was beaten half to death, but she gritted her teeth and insisted that her son was wrongly accused and did not say anything more.
